The Director-General of the National Disaster Management Organization, Nana Agyemang Prempeh, has advised residents living along the White Volta to relocate before the Bagre Dam spillage.
The Director-General of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), Nana Agyeman Prempeh asked the residents to relocate for their own safety.
He noted that following the recent downpour, there is a possibility that the dam could be opened anytime soon.
He said the government and NADMO do not have what it takes to bring dead people back to life hence the residents must move before the spillage.
Mr Agyeman Prempeh made the appeal when he visited the chiefs to appreciate efforts employed to sensitize residents of the effects of the spillage.
“We as NADMO and government are worried because we are losing lives and people are harvesting their maize and other crops immaturely which is not a good thing because it might affect food security in the area and the country,” he said.
“Government is ready and for the first time, NADMO has moved in with the officers and men of the 48 engineering of the Ghana Arm Forces, the marine unit and the police service. They are all here, ready to respond to whatever impact the Bagre dam spillage will cause,” he added.
